Casablanca

Casablanca is a 15-apartment building with no annual maintenance fee — the owners run the common parts themselves. Over ten years that is several thousand euros less than a resort complex with a pool and security. Apartments start at 63 sq m, and the beach is 400 m away.

What to know before you buy

• Sizes. Apartments start at 63 sq m, well above a holiday studio, laid out for year-round living.
• Maintenance fee. No annual charge: owners pay for the common parts directly and decide the spending.
• Parking. A space is not included in the price but can be bought separately; there are fewer spaces than apartments.
• Payment. The installment plan runs to completion and follows construction stages; agree it before the deposit.
• Developer. Azimuth Constructions is a Burgas company; before this it built the Atlas buildings in the Azimut district, which you can go and see.
• Timing. Completion (Act 16 (the Bulgarian occupancy permit)) is announced for 2027, so you choose from plans, not a finished flat.

Chernomorets is a year-round town between Burgas and Sozopol: permanent residents, a school, shops and buses that run all winter. The building sits in the centre rather than out by the road, so cafés and grocers are a couple of minutes on foot. The finish specification, parking count and payment schedule are not fixed in the project description — ask for them in writing before any deposit.

Casablanca is not a resort complex with facilities on site: you pay for metres, the view and the walk to the beach, not for the upkeep of a pool. If you want service and guarded grounds, compare the bigger projects in Sozopol and Sunny Beach before the deposit.
